Supplemental Educational Services Providers Application Form

The NH Department of Education has developed an application form by which they will identify individuals and both private and public organizations that qualify to provide supplemental educational services. These services are designed to be in addition to a child's basic instruction, be provided outside of the regular school day and to be academic in nature. Title I Schools in Need of Improvement are required to provide supplemental services to students from low-income families. The Department anticipates that it will offer the opportunity for all entities to apply for approval approximately every six months.

Applicants for 21st CCLC funds must be a collaborative between a local educational agency (LEA) and one or more community-based organizations (CBOs), faith-based organizations (FBOs), or other public or private entities and must primarily serve students who attend schools with a high concentration of economically disadvantaged students. The lead agency may be the school, district, CBO, FBO or other organization but must always partner with an eligible school.

The goal of the 21st CCLC program is to raise student academic achievement through the creation and expansion of community learning centers that provide students with academic enrichment opportunities as well as additional activities designed to complement their regular academic program. Centers can be located in elementary, middle or secondary schools or similarly accessible facilities. They provide a range of high quality services to support student learning and development, including tutoring and mentoring, homework help, academic enrichment (e.g., hands-on science or technology programs), and community service opportunities, as well as music, arts, sports, and cultural activities.

This funding applies to all schools with a minimum of 30% of the student population identified as recipients of the free/reduced lunch program as of October 2008. Middle and high schools are eligible if the majority of the feeder elementary schools are eligible.
